The remote uses two-way communication to the DIRECTV STREAM device. RF mode eliminates the need for the remote and the paired devices to be in line of sight to each other. The RC82V Remote Control has a directional pad. Basic operations and functions can be made by pressing the direction, then pressing ok.

The Gemini Voice remote allows for voice activated commands powered by Google Assistant and works exclusively with the Gemini device.

Only the DirecTV Stream box has a remote with dedicated buttons for things like GUIDE and numerical channel selection.

Remote live streaming is a fully produced live video production executed from the safety of your home, office or anywhere else with an internet signal.

A TV or set-top box remote control that accepts speech input. Although there are many bumps in the road, speech recognition has improved greatly in the 21st century.

A second microphone inside the remote control can be used for voice searching, though the user must first push an activation button on the remote and speak into the microphone for it to work. These voice commands are transmitted to the cloud where they are converted to text so they can be acted upon by the program.

How much does DIRECTV charge for a new remote? DIRECTV charges $15–$25 for a new remote, depending on whether you have the universal remote (the white one) or the Genie remote. If you have DIRECTV's protection plan, the company will replace your remote free.

The Universal remote can control up to four devices. These include TVs, sound systems, game consoles or DVD players. Slide the mode switch at the top of your remote to pick the device you want to control (DIRECTV, AV1, AV2, and TV).

How does streaming work? Just like other data that's sent over the Internet, audio and video data is broken down into data packets. Each packet contains a small piece of the file, and an audio or video player in the browser on the client device takes the flow of data packets and interprets them as video or audio.

Streaming works by breaking down content (like a movie) into smaller pieces or data packets. These data packets get sent to your browser, where the video player interprets the data as a movie. As soon as your browser has enough data packets to begin, the movie starts playing.

Hands-free voice control can be faster than physically pressing the buttons of the remote and trying to toggle between the apps. The convenience of being hands-free when the device isn't within your reach or when you are busy with other chores is a big advantage.

Voice recognition systems analyze speech through one of two models: the hidden Markov model and neural networks. The hidden Markov model breaks down spoken words into their phonemes, while recurrent neural networks use the output from previous steps to influence the input to the current step.

This feature is available on iPhone® and Android™ smartphones. You can use the handset or base unit to operate the voice recognition feature of the paired cellular phone (Siri®, Google Now™, or S Voice). For example, you can speak into the handset or base unit and command your cellular phone to make a call.
